■  The  vine,  too,  hero  her  curling  tendrils  shoots, 
Hangs  out  her  clusters  glowing  to  the  South, 
And  scarcely  wishes  for  a  warmer  sky." 


FORTY-FIFTH    EDITION. 

N.  B.— The  recipients  of  this  Catalogue  are  presumed  to  already  possess  our  Descriptive  Catalogue, 
44th  Edition,  published  last  year,  aud,  if  not  so,  they  can  have  it  on  application,  as  the  new  Descrip- 
tive Catalogue  will  not  he  issued  until  January  next. 


TRANSPLANTING  AND  FORWARDING  GRAPE   VINES. 

Grape  Vines  can  be  safely  transplanted  from  the  first  of  October  to  May  ;  and  no  class  of  plants 
is  more  retentive  of  vitality,  or  more  sure  to  succeed.  During  Winter  we  keep  a  stock  planted  in 
cellars,  ready  for  immediate  transplanting,  and  during  the  Summer  we  keep  a  large  assortment  in  pots, 
and  these  can  be  turned  out  with  balls  of  earth,  which  can  be  packed  in  moss,  and  then  in  boxes, 
so  as  to  be  transported  with  perfect  safety.  Every  variety  is  accurately  labeled,  and  carefully  packed, 
and  the  packages  forwarded  by  Express,  or  otherwise,  as  requested,  and  a  receipt  taken  from  the 
Transportation  Co.  and  forwarded  to  the  purchaser  with  the  invoice.  Remittances  can  he  made  by 
check  through  the  mail,  but  Bank  Notes  should  be  sent  by  Express.

CLASS  1 -FOREIGN  GRAPES-VITIS  YIMFERA. 

These  are,  in  this  latitude,  suitable  only  for  culture  in  Graperies,  with  the  exception  of 
a  few  varieties  which  are  sufficiently  hardy  for  training  on  walls  having  a  southern  expo- 
sure, such  as  the  Chasselas  of  several  varieties,  Delaware,  White  Tokay,  and  the  early 
Burgundy  or  Morillon  Varieties.     At  the  South  they  succeed  in  open  culture. 

This  collection  is  remarkably  select,  and  comprises  only  the  most  highly-approved  varie- 
ties, and  the  synonomy  has  been  carefully  revised. 

Prices. — These  will,  in  all  cases,  be  as  low,  or  lower,  than  any  other  nursery  for  vines 
of  similar  sizes.  Scions  of  many  of  the  more  plentiful  varieties  can  be  supplied  in 
January. 

Vines  of  one  year,  grown  in  pots,  38  to  50  cents  ;  two  years,  75  cents  ;  $4  to  S6  per 
dozen.  Extra  large  vines  selected,  SI  each.  When  a  large  number  is  wanted,  a  liberal 
deduction  on  the  prices  will  be  made.

AMERICAN    INDIGENOUS    GRAPES. 


CLASS  II.-AMERICAN  INDIGENOUS  GRAPES. 

Our  Grape  Vines  are  nearly  all  grown  in  the  open  air,  and  not  forced  in  Hothouses,  and 
they  are,  consequently,  much  more  hardened  to  the  severities  of  our  climate.  They  are 
mostly  one  year  old,  except  where  otherwise  noted,  hut  the  Native  Varieties  are,  for  the 
most  part,  vigorous  layers,  which  are  equal  to  two  years'  Vines  grown  from  cuttings. 

As  the  prices  of  many  varieties  of  Native  Grapes  will  be  fluctuating  according  to  the 
extent  of  the  demands  and  the  relative  supply  or  scarcity,  we  shall  issue  Priced  Catalogues 
twice  in  each  year  ;  and  we  also  make  this  proposal  as  the  basis  of  our  transactions  :  any 
List  of  Grapes  extracted  from  a  priced  Catalogue  of  any  reliable  Nusery,  will  be  supplied 
by  us  at  the  same  or  at  lower  rates. 

Extra  large  Vines,  for  immediate  bearing,  will  be  charged  in  proportion  to  their 
value. 

Grapes  for  Vineyards.— Isabella,  Catawba,  Clinton,  Concord,  Diana,  Early  Isabella, 
True_  Hyde's  Eliza,  Franklin,  Carter's  Favorite,  Hartford  Prolific,  Herbemont,  Louisa, 
Lenoir,  Norton's  Virginia,  Scuppernong,  York  Madeira,  and  several  other  varieties,  can 
he  supplied  by  thousands,  and  a  Wholesale  Catalogue  will  be  sent  to  applicants.

REMARKS. 


The  prominent  object  to  which  public  attention  is  now  called  is  Vineyard  Culture,  for  which  purpose  none 
but  the  Indigenous  species  and  varieties,  of  a  perfectly  rustic  character,  are  appropriate — they  alone  possessing 
the  hardihood  and  the  freedom  from  mildew  and  from  other  objections  which  apply  invariably  to  every  Foreign 
variety,  and,  so  far  as  yet  proven,  to  every  American  variety  grown  from  the  seed  of  the  tender  and  feeble 
Vilis  vinifera. 

No  greater  blight  could  be  inflicted  on  our  prospective  Vineyard  Culture,  than  the  recommendation  for 
that  object  of  such  feeble  growing  Vines,  subject  to  mildew  in  open  culture,  as  the  Delaware,  Rebecca,  Clara, 
Emily',  Brinckle,  &c.  The  failures  which  would  inevitably  result  from  such  injudicious  selections  would  occasion 
such  discouragement  to  Cultivators,  that  American  Wine  Culture  would  be  thrown  back  ten  years  at  least. 
These  varieties,  though  possessed  of  nearly  all  the  desirable  qualities  that  have  been  ascribed  to  them,  are  only 
adapted  to  special  Garden  culture,  where  they  can  be  trained  on  walls  or  protected  trellises,  but  they  will 
never  succeed  in  open  unprotected  field  culture . 

In  the  Selections  to  be  made  of  Varieties  for  the  Table  and  for  the  Vineyard,  it  would  be  unreasonable  to 
expect  that  the  qualities  most  desirable  for  each  of  these  purposes  could  be  found  combined  in  the  same  fruit, 
when  the  requisites  are  so  very  dissimilar.  The  largest,  most  tender,  sweet,  and  melting  varieties  are  desired 
for  the  dessert,  whereas  it  is  those  least  sweet,  but  most  brisk,  sprightly  and  aromatic,  and  often  those  quite 
austere  and  astringent,  that  yield  the  choicest  wines.  Furtheimore,  there  is  no  celebrated  Wine  grape  if 
large  size,  they  all  being  quite  small  or  medium,  a  fact  that  can  be  rationally  explained. 

Acclimation. — In  this  regard  there  exist  very  erroneous  views.  No  Plant  or  Animal  has  ever  been  accli- 
mated in  the  existing  race  by  any  change  of  location  ;  as  such  amelioration  attaches  only  to  their  progeny. 
Seminal  reproduction  can  alone  eflect  any  such  change,  and  then  only  gradually  through  succeeding  genet  ations. 
This  results  from  a  great  natural  Law,  by  which  every  Animal,  Tree,  or  Plant,  partakes  in  a  degree  of  the  char- 
acter of  the  climate  and  soil  where  it  is  generated. 

The  acclimation  and  improvement  of  the  Persian  Grape  (Vitis  vixifer.a)  to  its  present  condition  in  France, 
has  been  a  labor  of  20CO  years,  and  to  render  it  hardy  and  vigorous  enough  to  sustain  our  climate  (if  such  a 
result  were  possible)  would  require  at  least  another  1GO0  years.  What  lolly,  then,  would  it  be  lor  us  to  look  to 
the  feeble  productions  of  uncongenial  climes,  as  the  hopeful  parents  of  a  hardy  and  vigorous  progeny  suitable 
to  withstand  the  rigors  of  an  American  winter,  and  the  peculiarities  of  our  summer  climate. 

Should  we  not  rather  look  to  the  robust  and  vigorous  species  of  the  Vine  which  God  himself  has  planted 
everywhere  in  the  American  forest,  and  which  spring  up  wildly  throughout  every  region  of  our  country, 
mounting  the  loftiest  trees,  and  spreading  their  tendrils  far  and  wide?  When  the  Deity  in  his  wisdom  placed 
only  one  species  of  the  Vine  in  the  Eastern  Hemisphere,  and  planted  eight  species  in  North  America,  shall  we 
question  His  intelligence,  as  thus  manifested,  by  a  disregard  to  the  rich  treasure  he  has  thus  imparted  to  us? 
Or.  shall  we  not  rather  seek,  by  the  seminal  productions  which  must  result  from  our  superior  advantages,  to 
obtain  new  and  exquisite  varieties  of  the  grape,  which  shall  surpass  in  size,  beauty,  and  flavor,  anil  especially 
in  hardihood  and  robust  character,  all  which  Europe  has  yet  been  able  to  present  either  in  the  shape  of  fruit 
for  the  dessert,. or  in  that  of  the  most  delicious  and  exhilarating  Wines? 

It  is  now  about  forty  years  since  William  Prince  named  and  introduced  the  Isabella  Grape  to  public,  notice. 
That  Vine  was  then  supposed  to  be  of  Southern  origin,  but  our  investigations  have  since  satisfied  us  that  it  is  a 
Northern  Vine  and  a  native  of  this  State.  In  the  year  1810,  William  R.  Prince,  aided  by  William  Prince,  pub 
lished  "  A  Treatise  on  the  Vine."  a  volume  of  355  pages  octavo,  in  which  he  demonstrated  the  fact,  that  "  God 
has  preeminently  stamped  our  country  as  the  land  of  the  Vine."  He  urged  most  ardently  upon  his  country- 
men the  immediate  formation  of  extensive  Vineyards,  for  the  attainment  of  three  objects  :  First — To  increase 
the  national  wealth  by  superseding  the  vast  importation  of  adulterated  wines  and  alcoholic  mixtures.  Secondly — 
To  furnish  a  cheap  and  innocent  domestic  beverage  with  the  gently  exhilarating  qualities  given  to  the  juice  of 
the  grape  by  the  Creator.  Thirdly — That  the  universal  adoption  of  a  pure  beverage,  restorative  of  physical 
and  mental  exhaustion,  might  have  the  same  opportunity  here  of  producing  the  result  universal  in  the  wine- 
producing  countries  of  Europe,  viz.,  the  extinction  of  intemperance  as  a  national  characteristic. 

But  our  country  was  not  then  prepared  to  appreciate  and  adopt  this  important  branch  of  Agricultural  In- 
dustry.    We  were  an  entire  age  too  soon  in  then  urging  its  adoption.
